The label "tea party" unto itself attempts to demonize a group that does not align with the following of those who use it....and as in this post above criticizes others for demonizing. The problem is those who do so either don't realize it ....or they really do!
They get votes from the demographic they choose to highlight. How about the votes they do not and may very well have not gotten from the demographic that comprises eligible but not registered voters?
As an aside but related because "tea party" was used above; I am a little tired of the hyocitic nature of many posters here. For example if I used a term from the past to label a gay person as "queer", there would be a pouncing of magnitude upon me. Well the way some use "tea party" is no different.
